Mid-key values give Frank Paton its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. Warm hues command this palette; Frank Paton favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. Only 10.7% is devoted to #734E40, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 41 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. In the context of Frank Paton's full range of palettes, group 4 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
